The coin's striking design and colour make it an attractive additional to collections.Introduced in 1822, the European honey bee successfully adapted to Australia's climate and flora, making them responsible for producing the majority of Australian honey.While there are more than 1,500 species of native honeybees, they tend to produce a lot less honey than introduced species.Despite their small size and short lifespan, honey bees not only produce delicious honey, they are also regarded as a valuable agricultural commodity of providing free pollination services, resulting in superior quality harvest and increased yield. Honey bee pollination is estimated ot contribute $4 to $6 billion to the economy.Across Australia, there are approximately 20,000 registered beekeepers who operate more than 640,000 hives, producing up to 30,000 tonnes of honey each year.This honey is consumed in nearly 40 countries across the globe, including Canada, China, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and, of course, Australia.This is a very vibrant and intricate design on the coin.Australian Legal TenderEach coin's obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark.Presented in an official Royal Australian Mint Wrapper.Struck to the Royal Australian Mints uncirculated quality.Issued as Australian legal tender.Denomination :       25 x $2Quality :                 UncirculatedMetal :                   Aluminium BronzeWeight :                 6.60 gmsDiameter :              20.50 mmMintage :                15,000 RollsCertificate of Authenticity : Royal Australian Official PackagingPLEASE NOTE LIMIT - 2 PER CUSTOMER / HOUSEHOLD - ORDERS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLEDNOT FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING* - PLEASE CONTACT THE DISTRIBUTOR IN YOUR COUNTRY*International orders will be automatically cancelled and refunded to your Paypal account minus and Paypal fees.NOTE : Whilst these coin have come directly from the Mint, there may be issues with the colour application for this type.
